    Despite the boycott of Turkish resorts by a number of Armenian travel
    agencies, even more Armenian tourists have preferred Turkish resorts
    this year than last year.

    This January-July, 15,950,000 tourists visited Turkey - a 6.67%
    increase as compared with last January-July. The largest number of
    German tourists preferred Turkey, followed by Russians (1,793,000),
    followed by British and Spanish tourists.

    The Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism informed NEWS.am
    that Israeli tourists registered a 40% decrease as a result of
    Turkish-Israeli confrontation. Israeli tourists showed an 89%
    decrease this July, whereas the number of tourists from the Middle
    East increased.

    The source reported that 10,380 Armenian tourists visited Turkey this
    July alone - a 3.45% increase against last July, and a 17% increase
    against 2008. More Armenian tourists visited Turkey this June as well.

    A total of 17,315 Armenian tourists visited Turkey this January-May -
    a 10% increase against last year.
